700 up...
Back in September 2006, I started a new blog: this one...
Since then I have made 700 posts, including this one, which equates to almost exactly one per day over the 2 years: most of them inconsequential nonsense, but I hope a few have triggered an idea, or given the confidence to try something new, perhaps even your own blog...
This blog will shortly be 'moving' to a new home at LIVING GEOGRAPHY, where the focus will be on my new job. I will still post here, but perhaps less frequently... There is also the CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY blog for media related stuff.
I've still got a way to go to catch up with Ewan McIntosh, who has just made his 1501st post on his marvellous blog.

Congratulations on your 700th post Alan! And thank you... for every bit of "inconsequential nonsense", there've been at least ten good ideas, interesting websites, and details of books I've had to go out and buy - and of the several geography blogs I read every day, GeographyJazz is always the first! Look forward to reading Living Geography and hearing about your adventures in your new job!

On the way, went past the huge Amazon Distribution Centre at Marston Gate, right next to the M1 Junction 13 as you can see on the Google Earth image below - the location is obviously perfect in terms of transportation links. As well as the M1, it is 20 minutes from Luton Airport, and next to the Thames Link rail line. It is "the largest e-commerce distribution centre in Europe. This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
